2B Technologies

Another successful conference for 2B Technologies is in the books! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and attended our ice cream social at the Air & Waste Management Association Measurements Conference! We enjoyed networking while discussing our portable, highly-accurate air pollution monitoring instrumentation. We look forward to collaborting on your next air monitoring project!

Were the paintings of Claude Monet and other impressionists just “telling it like it was” during the Industrial Revolution? Maybe the dreamy scenes were Monet painting exactly what he saw—growing air pollution in rapidly modernizing Paris and London. The impressionist style has dimmer objects, whiter hues, and a low-contrast “out of focus” feel. So does polluted air, in which particulate matter scatters and absorbs light. A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences studied the correlation between industrialization and the work of impressionist painters Monet and Joseph Turner. A fascinating example of art meeting science!

Recently 2B Technologies began collaborating with local air agencies to further customize the AQSync. We are exploring the possibility of adding BTEX and Methane to this already highly customizable air monitoring solution. These additions will allow the AQSync to be deployed for a variety of fenceline monitoring applications.

Excited to announce - 2B Technologies is modernizing its brand while still providing the same high-quality instruments and unparalleled customer support. Stay tuned for more visual updates coming from us this year!

Air pollution appears to be affecting our mental health.

In a recent article in Neurotoxicology, more than 100 research articles from both animal and human studies that focused on the effects of outdoor air pollution on mental health were reviewed. 73% of the studies reported higher mental health symptoms and behaviors in subjects (humans and lab animals) that were exposed to higher than average levels of air pollution.

Air pollution harms the brain and mental health, too Air pollution doesn't just harm your lungs and skin — new research shows it also harms the brain
